It was on May 9th, .1890, that

On punday evening Rev. Mac-
Donald chose as his text, St. Mat-
t ew 10:38, • "And he • that taketh
n t his cross; and • followeth after
rnie, is not worthyof me".
• The . Cross is the •centre ' of the
Christian-life..It is not something
we 'can avoid.`but .rather some-
thing we can' bear`. or refuse to
bear, 'Mi''..: i'IacDonald . Saida .Some-
times our cross is very real but_
often` the fog falls• and obscures'
our view. The Cross should have - given
us a new, standard to live by, btit
Until we put •the ' spirit of ,the
Cross ,into life, Christ's mission
will be in vain. The spirit of the
Cross must grip' us and . forth- the•
background through which our
whole lifeis lived:
Mr. , 1VlacDonald said • some
might measure the success of this
anniversary occasion; .by the size
of -the • congregations or the of-
.feeing: received, - but rather `;he
wouldchose to have even one
soul decide to measure life and
live it by the Cross.
eWe are slaves- of statistics, he
said, and measure things by the
, world's yardstick. We are using
the wrong measuring stick. Put
away our own foot __rules_.--ankd
